Essential Air Service at Meridian, Mississippi Issued and Served May 13, 2008 Order Selecting Carrier | Word On March 17, 2008, ASA filed a 90-day notice of its intention to suspend its subsidy-free service at Meridian, Mississippi, effective June 16, 2008. By Order 2008-3-24, March 25, 2008, we prohibited ASA from suspending its service and requested proposals by April 23, 2008. We received timely-filed proposals by ASA and by Mesaba Aviation, Inc., d/b/a Northwest Airlink. By letter dated April 24, 2008, we requested comments from the community by May 12. We received comments from the Mayor of Meridian on April 30, 2008, and the issues are ripe for decision. Both proposals are for the two-year period through June 30, 2010. By this order, the Department is selecting Atlantic Southeast Airlines, Inc. d/b/a Delta Connection to provide essential air service at Meridian, Mississippi, at an annual subsidy rate of $686,489. The rate extends through June 30, 2010. By: Michael Reynolds |
